Kill the Dragon

“Is that why you killed the kids you called your comrades? That's not funny.”

Lee didn't think it was worth listening to Omega-1. They killed themselves and their comrades on the other side of the line. From that moment on, he was just a murderer.

“Ihan, you don't know the situation back then. Silence, so are you. ”

- For what?

Silence's helmet shines with a letter.

“How many people did you think were sane at the time? I tried to escape with the rest of my comrades. And even a few comrades who lost their normal judgment cut their own throats before they suffered any more. ”

Silence shakes his fingers. Lee's eyes narrowed.

“Do you think that makes sense? ”

“Silence, think of the bear. You were out of your mind at the time. He asked me to kill him myself. ”

Lee slowly switched between Silence and Omega-1.

"Sneaky. I can't see my face because I haven't taken my helmet off. ’

Omega-1 did not remove the helmet. The user's voice makes it hard to read the target's symptoms correctly. Lee Han is good at reading other people's lies and meanings. At least with enough face to face information.

“You're a good liar. Omega-1.”

Lee smiled.

“You claim to be lying. ”

Omega-1 says it's absurd.

‘You have to lie. Or Silence won't make it. Silence can't be shaken in this situation until I'm convinced I'm lying. ’

It doesn't matter if Omega-1 is lying. What is important in this situation is the balance of alpha and omega. Silence destabilizes the balance. Then things will go as Omega intended. Lee looked at the origins of the situation at one moment and made a decision close to the correct answer.

‘I believe in Yihan. I told you he was lying. He's lying. ’

Silence thought that even for a moment, his memory was wrong. His past was different from Omega-1. Not all motivators were close enough to use the word "comrade."

‘As expected, this guy... ’

Omega-1 was impressed. If you hadn't worn a helmet, you would have sensed it. Lee quickly identified the key points and made ‘important judgments in the current situation’ regardless of whether they were true or not.

‘It was a persuasive plan I had in mind for a long time. You've been spotted in a few words. ’

Omega-1 has gathered information about the third grade. Among them, the most prominent was Squad Leader Lee Hwan of Alpha. To get third-graders to cooperate, Lee Han's help was essential. The former omega-1 was in a position similar to this among the motivators.

“Omega-1, you, Arc, everybody else, forget about it. We have to win the war. Think about the rest afterwards. ”

Lee said sharply.

“We are strong. There's no reason to lose to a dragon. ”

Arc is optimistic about the end. Up until now, dragons have avoided both two-generation frontal confrontations. The dragon was no longer invincible. Rather, in front of the second generation, it was just a hunted game.

Even at great cost, the war itself triumphs. The problem is to minimize those sacrifices to the fullest extent - that's the judgment of the arc and the heads of state. Leaving that sacrifice to another country and minimizing its damage. That was the politics that mattered.

Lee shakes his head.

“It's the most dangerous thing to think about. ”

Lee Han experienced it with his body. Elu Knights killed Moose and Amir when they were cautious of pushing the dragons into a corner. When the three teams got together and thought the mission would end easily, the base of Cairns, Australia, was defeated.

"What if the dragon purposely pretended to be weak, and the purpose was to instill in us the assurance that Generation Two would never lose to the dragon?" ’

In his mind, there is no evidence or evidence. It's just a vague idea.

Gooooo!

The interference has faded. The Psychic Airflow slowly sinks.

Chuck!

The Omega team has cleared the siege of Silence. Omega-1 quietly looked at Lee Han.

“Alpha, sickers should stick together. When the Dragon War is over, the next war will be with the Humans and the Cyclops. ”

“We're human too. ”

“If those purebreds think we're human. ”

Omega and Alpha return as if nothing had happened. Lee didn't want to report what had happened to Arc. Omega is also one of the ‘means' for Lee. In the worst case, we might have to hold hands with the Omega.

Lee looked at the cloud that was staying low. Dimensional gates are closed, but traces of cracks remain.

Kuro feels his power. He was standing in the psychic training room. With a light gesture of eyes and a gesture of hands, the heavy beads move. The word "extremely developed psychic ability" was also inadequate. The ability that was originally strong developed by putting it into practice several times.

“Where is the country from Kuro? It was Japan.”

“It's Japan, but I don't really feel like I belong to the country. ”

Through the window, scientists said. Psychic soldiers are superior to each other. However, it is a terrifying power source when equipped with equipment, including psychoframes.

“Do you really need a psychoframe for that kind of ability? Kuro, set it to Class S. ”

The scientist said to the microphone: Kuro nods. Previously, I didn't have the power to Class S. But now I've used Class S power to some extent. The limit of abilities has been raised.

Whoo-hoo!

The psychic energy was formed as a group. The psychic energy surrounding Kuro's body is a weapon of its own.

“I'm taking the test. Are you ready?"

Kuro nods at the scientist's words.

Phishing!

A gun came out of the wall. A bullet flew towards Kuro.

Quadruck!

Kuro reaches out his palm forward. The psychic energy was shaped like an extension line in the palm of the hand to form a film. Dense psychics blocked physical energy. The bullet bounces off the psychic shield. It was a kind of psychic shield.

Whoo-hoo!

“You're out of your depth. High density psychic energy should be regarded as the unique ability of maintainable classes S. ”

“So far, Class S hasn't maintained that kind of psychic shield. ”

Psychic Shield is an ability that is still being studied.

Second generation reinforcements also temporarily use the dragon skeleton of psychoframes to use physical defenses similar to the psychic shield. It is the ability of the architect to gain additionally by the characteristics of the psychoframe, not the intended function. But it's not very efficient, so it's usually used as an emergency.

“Next test. ”

The scientist said the blue light was intense in Kuro's pupil. His short-term predictions read a few seconds ahead.

Thung! Thung!

The rubber ball bounces off the wall irregularly. The speed was very fast. It was hard to chase.

Tak!

Kuro reaches out and grabs the rubber ball. I read the rubber ball's trajectory completely.

“A monster.”

The scientist expressed an honest impression. Kuro's pure specs allow him to wander barefoot on the battlefield where bullets rain.

“Is it over?”

Kuro said Najjik. The voice was clean and innocent.

“Yes. Good work. ”

Scientists exported Kuro and examined the data.

“In third grade, it's the best in almost every way. No one can follow Kuro with psychic abilities. ”

“But you can't really use it in practice. Psychoframe-induced degradation. ”

“It's a matter of innate combat sense. ”

Kuro is not fit for combat. It is a problem that has been raised many times. Nevertheless, Kuro is still a third-grade combat agent.

“I still don't want Kuro to change. I wonder what kind of monster a boy with that kind of power would be if he got into a baroque fight... ”

“Like that Simon? ”

“Simon's strong enough, but he's not satisfied. That level of ability to use psychoframes is already exhausting. ”

Scientists pulled coffee out of an espresso machine. They are also overworked. The final battle draws near.

“If we are truly defeated, will humanity perish? ”

The scientist muttered and looked at the next incoming boy. The next test was this. Lee finished the test as the scientists instructed. The results were no different from the last time, as if measured by a machine.

“There's very little change in psychic power on the surface. It's like growth stops at some point. ”

“Usually just a little bit, but the PP levels keep rising, which is unusual. ”

“Psychic core rejection occurs during the strengthening process, which is much lower in PP than in other third graders. It's usually too low to use psychoframes in combat. ”

“Psychic control itself is a feature… but it's unique in many ways. ”

While scientists were talking, Lee looked out an opaque window.

‘These tests make me feel bad. ’

It was an honest feeling for Lee Han. I felt like a lab rat. He quickly changed his clothes and returned to his private room. The arc's mood is getting heavier. The final battle is drawing near. No matter how positive the situation was, it was still pressing.

Queek.

Lee turned on the handset. A number of messages were seen flying to major Korean rivers. Major Kang's attitude has changed a lot. I switched from an overbearing attitude to an understatement.

[The country will not spare any support on both sides of the water for you.]

Lee Han is the only Korean reinforcement soldier. The value is enormous. There is not only a practical benefit, but also a symbolic meaning.

“Now... ”

Lee was ridiculed. All his country ever did for him was send him to the arc.

“But I have to go back eventually. ”

There are sisters in Korea. I won't be treated badly anyway.

Pussy.

Lee Han trembled. I pressed down on my knees with my hands. There's not even a month left. Everything is in the hands of you and your colleagues. Whether there is a human conflict with the Cyclops, the Omega betrays the Arc, or powerful nations fight to lead a new order - there is a new future beyond dragons. Until then, it was a pathetic delusion.

‘Everything is after killing a dragon. It was meaningless before that. This is important right now. ’

Complex interests, chaotic fog, emotional words. Stupid desires that make you miss the most important thing. Lee had an eye to see through the truth and to remove all the veils. Today, we should not worry about the future that did not come, but about the future that did not come.
